A Knights Code- A Long Journey- Part 5

Be prepared to fight in the defense of your country.

The majority of us will not be called to go join the military but all of us are called to be defenders of our country. Being a defender of your country means that you actually defend and protect your rights as a citizen. It basically means that as a person you need to stand up for your country and be a active citizen. This does not mean fighting in wars but it means expressing the idea that you are proud of your country. Being proud and patriotic is very important. If you have false patriotism in my opinion that is worse than not having any patriotism at all.
